I have to further add that not only will I not do it but we have crates of premade cat5e that I can just go grab handfuls of varying length cable from...no one here makes cables
 
I don't work in IT, but I know how to do it because I helped my buddy in IT do it once

we had to do like 30 cables, my fingers were fucking killing me when it was finished

getting all those little ass wires in the correct order is a bitch

I had a friend *cough*lemon_fresh*cough* that didn't know the order of the colors mattered when crimping a cable.
ya and that would definitely be the most annoying part of the whole thing

I bet 'nev could make one from two RJ-11's cobbled together at each end and wires made from twist-ties.
He's like the Chuck Norris of RJ specifications. Sometimes he uses milled aluminum to make wires, just cause he fucking can.

I heard he can do wonders with pig iron in a pinch
 
Remember that NAFLA LAN party back in 92? The one where the MAU broke and nev cobbled one together out of an apple pie and a shoehorn? Damn that was a good time.
